Monaco is a city-state on the Mediterranean coastline of France. With an area of 0.78 square miles and an estimated 38,500 permanent residents, it is the second smallest but most densely populated country in the world. Monaco has been a voting member of the United Nations since 1993, adopting a constitutional government. Although it maintains a small army, Monaco relies on France for defense. Monaco is known for its Monte Carlo luxury casino district, luxury hotels, grand prix racetracks and yacht-lined ports, and its economy is almost entirely dependent on tourism. Singapore is an island city in Southeast Asia. With approximately 5.3 million people living within 270 square miles, it is the second most densely populated country in the world after Monaco. In 1965, after being expelled from the Malaysian Federation, Singapore became an independent republic, a city and a sovereign state. According to its constitution, Singapore adopts a representative democratic form of government with its own currency and a well-trained and comprehensive armed force. With the world’s fifth-largest per capita GDP and enviable low unemployment, Singapore’s economy is booming and exports a wide range of consumer goods.= D
